Abstract
A brief description is given of the use of low-power level microwave propagation techniques for the study of helical instabilities in magnetoplasmas. It is shown that this technique is well suited to the investigation of time varying plasma structures and instabilities in general. Rotational frequencies of various modes of the helical instability, determined as a function of the gas pressure and of the confining magnetic field intensities, are illustrated and are compared with theory. This method also reveals the conditions for the existence of configurations in decaying (afterglow) and r.f.-maintained magnetoplasmas which are similar to those found in d.c.-maintained magnetoplasmas.
